That was my thougt also Ed, but it came with an E-tool a few years ago from an attic in the north of Holland (Assen).At that time I thougt it was not original, and swapped it for another handle and sold the e-tool.Recently I rediscovered the handle in my shed and saw it was wartime dated, I didn't notice that earlyer.Here is a pic of the find, the Mk3 and M42 are still in my collection.
